SAFETY BOTTLE HOLDER.

Applicationled March 18, 1927. Serial Nag-1765505. y

My invention relates more particularly to the holding of milk bottles,which are often stolen or broken in the usual way of delivery. For thepurpose ofthe safe delivery of the Vmilk bottle and its convenientandsure delivery, I have devised a device for such safe delivery of thefull .milk bottle and for the vtaking away of the empty bottles.

The device may be hung up in a basement, on a porch, on the wall ordoor, or anyother suitable place.

It is very simple in construction, cheap of manufacture, and highlyefficient in use. Its various features and advantages will readilybecome apparent from the following specilication.

In the accompanying drawing, forming a part of this specilication:

Fig. 1, is a side view showing the device in use, Fig. 2, is a bottomview,

Fig. 3, is a sectional view, taken on the line 3-3 of Fig. 2,

Fig. 4, is an endelevation, and l l Fig. 5, is a sectional view, takenon the line 5 5 of Fig. 2. y

I will now describe my bottle holder and refer to the drawings, in whichVit is shown that the holder is including a body part, formed of sides1, 1, a top 2, and a back plate 3, having bracketed sides 4, 4, securedtogether in any desired manner.

At the forward end of the body part, I provide a hinged gate 5 whichswings in and out at pivot points 6, 6. which pass through one end ofthe side 1, and at the forward end of the other side 1', I provide anextension 7, having an opening 8. @ne end of the gate 5 has an opening 9to receive the extension 7 so that the ygate may be locked, as shown inFig. 4.

The sides 1 and 1 are turned up at their edges 10 so as to form guides12 which support seat portions 13 provided by yielding fabric strips 14connected to the sides 1 and 1 by rivet connections 15. v v

To the under side of the top 2, I secure a spring 16 having at itsforward end a disc 17 and provide cross springs 18, which extendoutwardly from the disc 17. l

On the top 2, I provide springs 19, 19,

which hold the 'empty bottles 20, and said empty bottles are insertedbetween the springs, head down, as shown in Fig. 1.

y In-order to place a full milk bottle in the device, the top of thebottle is forced up.- Wardly against the disc 17 and disc spring 18,

causing the spring 16, to become flattened or straightened out, whichwill allow the bot-A tle to be pushed forward and allow said bottoy tleto become suspended on seats 13, and the f ioning means, if I desire todo so.

I may change the shape and contour ofthe device, if kI desire. v

While I have described one specific form back into normal position andthe of carrying my invention into effect, I may change and modify thesame to some extent without departing from the spirit of the invention,and I wish to be understood as claiming all such changes andmodifications which fall within the vscope of this specification andclaims. f y What I claim as new and my invention and desire to secure byLetters Patent is:

1. In a safety bottle holder the combina-` l i tion of a support bracket`comprising a depending rear wall and side walls, a bottle supporting'means comprising inturn'ed flanges extending at an angle from said sidewalls I and terminating adjacent thereto to provide a bottle receivingopening and a resiliently mounted stop carried by the bottle support anddisposed in the receiving opening, the

support bracket and resilient stop being so relatedto 'the receivingopening as to preclu'de access to the stop for holding it in aninoperative position when a bottle vin the support means is movedadjacent thereto.

2. In combination a mounting support bracket comprising depending i'ezuand side Walls, e bottle support comprising a closed top and inwardlydepending flanges disposed in an angle tothe bracket und forming areceiving opening Within the bracket, L spring mounted on the undersideof said top at the receiving opening7 a disk yieldably closing thesupport means against Withdrawal of the bottle through the receiyingopening and a transverse strip on the disk.

In testimony whereof, I affix my signature at the city of Cincinnati,county of Hamilton and State of Ohio, this 28th day of February, 1927. Y

CHARLES A. REEDER.
